Satellite A300 15 c - how to recover original Vista

Hello
I have a problem. I installed Windows XP on my toshiba. First of all I changed in AHCI BIOS in compability mode. Then I installed Windows XP on the C partition. I didn't know that this stupid Windows will combine D: (hidden restore partition) with E (my data partition). Now I have two partitions (System) C: and D: (4.5 GB HDDRecovery directory and all my data). I would like to recover original Vista, but when I start my computer - key F8 (key recovery) disappeared. Help, please.

Hello

I think it was a big warning to you that you should not install anything until you created the recovery disc boyfriend!
The bulk of the recovery disk and it should be made in the first step.

Usually, if the F8 option would not work then you should not be able to restore your laptop to factory settings but I found very interesting thread posted here in the forum, and it might be your last resort.

Check this box:

You can find an interesting solution.
To be honest I n not know if it will work, but you could test and could provide a final summer here in the forum.

  • Satellite A300-15 was: How does the Toshiba control keys?

    I recently bought a Satellite A300-15A; model: PSAJ4E;

    The laptop has 6 multimedia keys on top.
    As described in the manual, they are supposed to perform the following functions shown (from left to right): (I'm dialing for convinience to talk about later)
    1 mute / power button LED
    2 CD/DVD button
    3. Play/Pause button
    4 Stop button
    5. back button
    6 next button

    Can someone explain all the buttons above.

    The only function these peform for me are as follows;
    1st button only allows the LED turned off/turned on but does not any silent operation with any application (not even Windows Media Player). Even when he performs the operation LED is off; only 6 keys and the bottom screen 'SATELLITE' is disabled; the other LEDS (in DC, Powe. Drums, disks) are always on... What is the problem and how do I start its silent operation so that I can cut the pc with any operation of the application.

    2nd button does that open Windows Media Player. What it is supposed to do exactly?

    All other keys do nothing but work on Windows Media Player. They do not work on any other application; either VLC or any other. How can I make it work on all multimedia applications...

    Please do develop and respond with solutions.

    The last of the woks to buttons ONLY with Windows Media Player! You can't use it with 3rd party like WinAmp player.

    According to the first 2 buttons:
    You can change the functionality assign the right exe file.

    For example:
    If you want to assign the light On / Off instead of Mute, you have to go

    Toshiba Assist-> optimize-> Toshiba Button Support.
    Select Dimmer.exe and click on register and click on 'Browse' button to Toshiba support and go in C:/Program Files/Toshiba/Toshiba button Support (or TBS)

    Now the button will start the dimmer.exe

    Even you can do if you want to use Mute or other applications

  • Satellite A300-18 has: how to increase the screen resolution

    I have recently buy a Toshiba Satellite A300-18 a, and I want to increase the resolution of the screen.
    Currently the max resolution is 1280 x 800.

    Does anyone know how to increase the resolution?
    Where can I find the drivers to increase?

    Thank you

    Henrique

    Hello

    I don t think a new graphics driver would allow a higher screen resolution on your laptop A300.
    Have you checked your manual for more details?

    I downloaded the user manual of the Europe of Toshiba page and discovered that the display is a 15.4 WXGA 16Mill colors with the following resolution: 1280 horizontal and 800 pixels vertical.

    It seems that you are already using the highest available resolution and therefore you will not be able to wear to higher values.

  • Satellite A300-19 q - how to start with an external USB drive

    Hi all!

    I have a (old) TOSHIBA Satellite A300-19 q bought in 2008. I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 by reformatting my HD. The problem is that my internal DVD drive no longer works. So I tried to boot from the Windows 7 DVD installation with an external USB drive.
    Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to boot from USB devices in my BIOS options.
    My BIOS is up to date (version 4.20) from Toshiba Web site.

    So I was wondering, does anyone know if the A300-19 q can boot from USB devices?

    Thank you in advance.

    I have A300 at home but I never tried to start with an external USB device.
    Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. There must be USB option. What happen when you try to use it?

    You can burn and create the own Vista recovery DVDs using Toshiba recovery disc creator software.

    Please check the desktop shortcuts or folder on the C:\ Program Files

    The Toshiba recovery disc creator will burn the image of Toshiba.

  • Satellite A300 - XP SP3: how to set external display, resolution 1280 x 960

    Hello world

    I installed the latest display driver for Mobility Radeon HD 3650, but I can't understand how to set the Resolution for my external monitor at 1280 x 960 (85 Hz) - the original driver of non - Mobility Radeon ATI does not have this option.

    In addition, my A300 does not remember the setting of brightness with FN + F6 / F7.
    After windows restarts, it is once again the most.

    Any ideas / suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    Manulu

    Hello

    The availability of the external screen resolution depends on the installed graphics driver and the graphics card itself. If the two parties n t support this external display (1280 x 960) resolution, then you will not be able to choose!
    See the user manual for this if the GPU provides support for this resolution of the external display (1280 x 960).

    Regarding the brightness setting:
    If the laptop is connected to the adapter, the brightness of the display will return to the optimum brightness. But you can manage these display settings in power management.
    There, you can create a profile for certain situations, for example when the laptop works with the energy of the battery only
    In this power profile, you can assign different levels of display brightness.

  • How to recover Windows Vista on Satellite A210?

    My friend bought Thoshiba Satellite A210. The machine is slow, so it wants to reinstall Vista.
    We can get it back to the hard drive?

    It doesn't have any CD to come with the laptop.

    Thank you.

    The A210 was certainly delivered with the recovery DVDs Toshiba that would help you to recover the laptop to factory settings.

    As I know the A210 was not equipped for HARD drive recovery option and the recovery DVDs should be in the package.

    If you n t have recovery DVDs anymore, then you can order it here:

  • Satellite L650D - 10 H - how to recover the system?

    Nice day

    Today my OS on my laptop has been altered, he told me to restore my system. Windows recovery program does not work, every reboot of the same corrupted file. So I tried the vista edition Windows Home premium 64 bit dvd of my brother. Changed the options in BIOS and boot from there, but it took about 20 minutes to start the installer with the language menu.

    I noticed that the lamp 'written on the hard disk' shines all the time and from time to time the HARD drive is not listed in my BIOS. Maybe my HARD disk is damaged?

    Now my question is, how to restore the system or to stand up a new OS? What can I do to get my laptop still running? Where to send and what costs?

    best regards and thanks for any help
    oxxxe

    Edit: now the hard drive is still listed in the bios

    Post edited by: oxxxe

    Hi oxxxe,

    Generally you can restore the factory settings using the Toshiba recovery disc. Have you created this disk?

    In General, if the HARD disk does not appear in the BIOS from time to time, it seems to be a malfunction of the HARD drive and it should be changed.
    If your laptop is under warranty, an ASP may fix this problem for free. A list of all the authorized service provider, you can find on the Web from Toshiba site.
